This patch fixes an ICE during error-recovery regression in the C front-end. The symptom is that the middle-end's sanity checking assertions fail during gimplification when being asked to increment an array, which is non-sense. The issue is that the C-front end has detected the type mismatch and reported an error to the user, but hasn't provided any indication of this to the middle-end, simply passing bogus trees that the optimizers recognize as invalid.
This appears to be a frequently reported ICE with 94730, 94731, 101036 and 101365 all marked as duplicates. I believe the correct (polite) fix is to mark the mismatched types as problematic/dubious in the front-end, when the error is spotted, so that the middle-end has a heads-up and can be a little more forgiving. This patch to c-decl.c's duplicate_decls sets (both) mismatched types to error_mark_node if they are significantly different, and we've issued an error message. Alas, this is too punitive for FUNCTION_DECLs where we store return types, parameter lists, parameter types and attributes in the type, but fortunately the middle-end is already more cautious about trusting possibly suspect function types. This fix required one minor change to the testsuite, typedef-var-2.c where after conflicting type definitions, we now no longer assume that the (first or) second definition is the correct one. This change only affects the behaviour after seen_error(), so should be relatively safe. This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with "make bootstrap" and "make -k check" with no new failures.
